How are the silicone cases suchs as these http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38.l1313&_nkw=xperia+silicone&_sacat=See-All-Categories
from Ebay?
I have never seen one in real life. Is the phone harder to operate with the case? Does it bulk up the phone too much?
I used to own a HTC tytnII (without a silicone case) which is slightly bulkier than the Xperia, and so if I could handle the HTC's slight bulk, then I would assume the Xperia w/ silicone case would be of similar size, no?
I wouldn't get a silicone case, they are very responsive to touch and uncomfortable.
I mean responsive as in they always get in the way, and you know how silicone is, it flexes and it bends.
They also feel uncomfortable for me.
This is about silicone cases for all phones and mp3 players.
I'd rather let me Xperia scratch than to be protected by that obstacle.
i would have agreed to u ..but the battery cover of my X1 got little scratches from coins in the pocket and now i am worried.
maybe leather covers?
those silicone cases do their job for a cheap price, I've used a few of them on a few makes of phones & they've been fine, but idd regards they feel a bit weird at 1st as in their like a condom but once u get used to them their ok I'd say.
Or you can indeed go buy a leather case & they vary from cheap .HK 1's to proporta etc... again I've had a few, even used expensive 1's.
I'm currently using a silicone case now & then with my diamond but mostly I have it in a leather flip style case, also got 2 leather pouch style cases...
My advice to any 1 who buys an expensive pda/ phone is to protect it 1 way or another with either a case or a pouch oh & always fit a screen protector also
Or don't care & get your pda scratched or chipped etc...
I had similiar one when I owned Touch Pro.
the fitment is ok (not the best) but I think the quality is at best average.
I just bought this one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Silicone-...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
Since I like silicone cases better than regular leather or pouch ones.
Silicone Cases are Great
I've been using silicone cases for years. They do not bulk up the phone, and they give great protection. All the ports are available, and the buttons usable. And, they're inexpensive!
is the optical pad covered using the silicone case?

Yes, they block the pad, at least the ones off of eBay do (I just recieved one)
There are some rubber cases that leave that area uncovered. You can find them on eBay as well. Although I don't now how the keyboard slide function works out with those.
the ones from hong kong off ebay are not very good, I have stopped using mine, so anyone thinking of buying one just avoid them.... I can post some pics if you want....
Clear Plastic Instead of Silicone
You might want to try a clear plastic case. I bought a couple from Ebay and like them better than the silicone ones. The ones I bought were about $3.25 each. Since they're clear, the allow the beauty of the phone show through. Plus, none of the buttons are covered.
I am buying a case tomorrow, and I was wondering, should I get the BodyGlove case or the Speck Candyshell
I have never seen a bodyglove case I liked. So I guess the other.
I had that Body Glove case and it was garbage. I've never seen that Speck case, but I wouldn't think it could be any WORSE than the BG one.
i have the speck candyshell and the plastic on the back scratches SO easily. there are scuff marks all over mine just by leaving it on a table. it's also pretty bulky
I have the Speck CandyShell, I like it, but then again I've always liked Speck cases. Have one on my MacBook, iPod touch, iPad, and Droid Inc.
+1 on the bodyglove being garbage. It has six tiny tabs on the corners and left and right sides and one drop is almost guaranteed to break at least ONE tab off and then it's all down hill from there. I reccomend going with a Seidio Surface or Active Case
I have the rugged which is basically like an Active case. It's an older model and it's STILL holding together with no problems and I drop it quite frequently. Not too much thickness added either. Actually fleshes the phone out quite nicely if you ask me.
I also recommend Seidio. I love mine, I have the surface.
Their cases are high quality, very protective, and shockingly secure. They are also extremely form fitting, only adding a few mm to the width of the phone. They are by no means bulky.
I have been contemplating getting an active instead, simply because I like the extra shock absorbance it gives. I believe both the active and the surface have holster options as well.
The Otterbox is garbage durability-wise, and extremely bulky. The Candshell is also fairly cheap quality.
Body glove is a waste of money. If you drop it once the whole case is broken

Ok. Im probably gonna order the SpeckCandy Shell on monday. Its a hard case right?
Look at one of these. They're all one piece, and it fits like a glove. I've had bad experiences with Seidio cases, having had 3, all scratched grooves into my devices I had them on (iPod Classic, iPod nano, iPod Touch) I recommend against them.
I also had the Body glove and I hated it. I bought it because the one I had on my Blackberry Curve was good. The Incredible one was garbage.
I had the Seidio Innocase II on mine and like it but wanted a belt clip. So I moved on to the Otter Box Defender. I love the defender. It is a 3 piece case with belt clip. It does attract dust but overall I think it does a great job and Otter Box customer service is top notch.
Just some food for thought
I can vouch for the Body Glove being a sacrificial case, unfortunately I myself prefer the screen-out belt holster style cases and this is the only one I've found. I stocked up on a sale and bought a couple right at $3 a pop.
One drop and one of the required 6 minuscule clips will almost certainly break.

Yes it's a hard case.
As stupid as this is, I just went into the Verizon store and bought this, and another case (the other case is a leather one). I didn't feel like waiting lol.
Hello, I buy a G2 and I have been reading a lot of opinions here on XDA but I can't decide at all.
I want something protective, and also lightly
I saw Nillkin frosted shield here
But I think it is not very protective, or I am wrong?
I also see Spigen Slim Armor here, it seems to be protective but is heavy, is't it? How much does it weight?
Or maybe a tempered glass + Nillkin frosted shield?
Is there anything between nillkin and Spigen?? (I don't like silicone case)
Is Diztronic Matte + an screen protector the best for me?
As you see I read, but there are a lot of opinions in a lot of pages and it is difficult to make up my mind.
Thanks for helping and sorry for my english, I am from Argentina

I got this Speck case
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IEYHJU8/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_7PzJub1VZ7N4Q
It looks like a two piece thing but is actually a fused one-piece case and quite slim. I have a used G2 in white and it has all sorts of dings and scratches on the phone, this case covers them all up perfectly. It looks and feels amazing. This color is a bit "pretty" but my four year old daughter loves it, so that works for me. I imagine if you have the black phone the black case would look better.
I also ordered a leather case from Tetded but that ships from hong Kong so it will be a while before I can evaluate.

How does the speck case protect against bumps and drops? As good as the spigen?
I'm using a Diztronic case and this tempered screen protector: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KVIGG54/
They work well together and I have no complaints about the protection. I'm pretty hard on my electronics and have dropped it to concrete quite a few times with no damage. I was even able to transfer the screen protector to a new phone when I had to get a warranty replacement for a defective camera sensor.
I used to have a two piece otter box style case because I was very paranoid about damaging the phone when I first got it. I got sick of struggling to get in in and out of my pocket since the phone is so big.

i doubt this case would protect your phone from a waste high drop
Hi, i`ve been searching for a transparent case for OP3. I want to buy the soft gold version, it looks really beauty. I don`t like to buy a beautyful phone to cover with a case and looks like any other phone. But i priorize protection too. I found a transparent case by Nilkin at AliExpress, but i don`t know if it`s a good case. What do you recommend?
Orzly Flexicase
The best transparent case which is also still pretty protective is probably the ringke fusion
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01HBZYWLE/
i agree with the orzly flex case, it does not give much bulk but can protect too

Ringke fusion is an amazing case for the money. I'm rocking it right now. I got the Pleson TPU case initially, but this Ringke just blows it out of the water. Very very well thought out. Probably the best TPU case I've ever owned for any phone. I religiously buy TPU as I have found it protects phones much better than any Otterbox, or anything with a "hard" cover. The hard covers all create a much higher impact in my personal opinion on the phone. The TPU absorbs the impact, instead of transferring it into the device. Never broke a single screen/phone wearing a TPU case, and I'm rough with my phones. I take them dirt biking on trails and on the MX course. I've crashed countless times. Never had a single issue.
The only thing a TPU case can't protect you from, is getting drunk and getting in the river and forgetting your phone was in your pocket. I'll miss you 1+1, I'll never forget you....
edit: hey, i'm in ATX too! hello 1+3 friend

hello from ATX! I had the pleson (clear) case first too, and while it's a great looking case I agree the best TPU slim case I've found is the Ringke one so far as well (and i've tried a good handful...)
I have the Orzly flexicase. It's look and feel is just great.
I've got the Pleson and the Ringke. It took some getting used to but I like my Ringke one more, harder plastic on back with tpu sides is nice
I have the Orzly Flexicase also. Love it. It isn't too thin or thick. I dropped my phone numerous times already. Haven't damaged it yet. (knock on wood)
I have a nillkin nature case since november, it's still great, not any scratch and protects my phone well, but it is becoming "yellowish", it's not as transparent as on the beginning.
Nillkins transparent tpu case is great. I"ve been using it since a few months. It's super slim compared to my other noname TPU case, has great grip dou to its sides. I've been using a case like this on my last 2 phones, will get one for the next one for sure.
I'm using stock just fine.
I am using Ringke fusion, it's nice but the rear is a fingerprint magnet.. It is getting dirty very fast.
I've bought orzly flexicase, will compare it with the Ringke one when I receive it.
Also for me the best is the Nillkin tpu case, very slim and transparent that show the device without cover it.
That cover have also a protection for the hole of type c cable.
For me official curved tempered glass with poetic affinity case is perfect
I have the spigen ultra hybrid and it's great. Also fits snugly with the orzly tgsp, no issues.

I've been using the official transparent case from OnePLus and it's good. No yellowish tint so far in 5 months.
I'm using spigen hybrid ultra clear case and it's incredible, fits really well and dust doesn't get under the case. Really good.
Greetings, mates.
I was a big fan of Speck products with all my phones since iPhone 3GS.
Week ago, bought Z2 Force and was glad to discover that Speck is producing the case for it. It is some kind of a "line refresh" and now called "Presidio Grip". The main difference over well-known CandyShell, i thought, was matte finish and rubber pattern.
But i was wrong. The main difference is awful quality of these new cases. I've read dozens of feedbacks at Amazon on this "Presidio" lineup and all of them showing extreme low quality and materials used in them.
Typical use time now is 2-3 weeks, after that rubber begins to peel off, hard outer shell begins to crack above the volume buttons etc.
I'm attaching only some of feedback photos here, all made not later than a month after the purchase. I was shocked a little, realising that in 2018 Speck is trying to sell case for $40+ with such a low quality... I can buy same "quality" garbage for less than a 2$ at Ali, really. That's definitely not what i'm expecting to obtain for such amount.
Now you really need a case to protect a $40 case, lol.
So, my question is are there any other hybrid cases for our Z2 that is not so bulky as Otterbox and is a good compromise between thickness and protection, like old Speck?
I use Spigen on my Moto Z2 Force , Google Pixel XL, iPhone 7 plus and love the fit and finish...
I actually bought the presidio grip for the Moto z2 force. It's junk and nothing like the previous ones I've had.
Have you looked at the under armour case? It has the grip like the speck. The Incipio octane does too on the sides.

Spigen rugged? It is not dual-layer design, so not a variant for me. Besides, it is typical cheapest possible $1 one layer TPU case with the only difference - quality of molding.
Spigen tough is like Otterbox, too bulky and outer shell scratches very easily, showing the white plastic beneath thin paint layer.

Incipio octane is a killer for our soft aluminium back. I had same type case on my old 1st gen Atrix. When dust and sand particles goes through camera hole, whole case begin to act like a sandpaper - soft TPU sides will move just a little every time you take a phone or move it to a pocket while hard polycarbonate back will scratch the surface with that dust particles.

This is a 100% hit the bull's-eye, thank's mate, exactly what i've searched for. Dunno why i never heard such brand before. :good:
The Under Armour cases are actually made by Incipio. My biggest issue with them is the thickness. Since the Z2F is already so rugged, I'm pretty comfortable with just a slim tpu case and tempered glass. The Tech21 Evo Check can be found online for under $10 now., so I'll probably pick one of those up.
I have this case.
Moto Z2 PLAY / Z2 FORCE Case, COVRWARE [IRON TANK] Built-in [Screen Protector] Heavy Duty Full-Body Holster Armor [Brushed Metal Texture] Case [Belt Clip][Kickstand], Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077RMCWT5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_OTlTAb424WGZ8
It is nice if you are looking for a thin case and a holster. Slightly harder to take off for using mods. (I always pop out the plastic screen protector)
I also have this case
Spigen Rugged Armor Moto Z2 Force Case with Resilient Shock Absorption and Carbon Fiber Design for Moto Z2 Force (2017) - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074BCC6K7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_hVlTAb0RY15T8
It is a simple slide in the pocket case that is easy to remove to use the mods.
Both are great cases and have held up without any problems.
Is anyone able to determine the model/manufacturer of the case on photo? Found it on glass feedback thread at amazon. Looks interesting.
